We survived

Well, we made it through my first day back. The morning was crazy and rushed, despite getting up at 5:20am. I can't believe it is possible to be running late at 6:00 in the morning - there is something very wrong with that. As Pete and I got onto the elevator I was definitely holding back the tears, but I managed to not mess up my make up. I called home twice and all was going well, which made me feel better. It is a comfort to know that I am only 10 minutes from home if need be. Pumping at work went better than expected, although I have to admit it is weird to get half naked in your office three times a day. I'll do it as long as I can, though - we'll see how it goes. I'm not going to beat myself up either way. There is SO much work to do between now and Christmas break. During my leave I practically forgot about college applications. I guess the kids didn't, though. I have 19 letters to write by next week - that's enough to keep me from being homesick for Lucy. Well, probably not, but I'll try and fake it.
